1. the 60 minutes thing was too short...catch a few older appearances on fora also

agree that michael lewis is probably one of the few people that can communicate complicated financial news in a mass media context...i hope everyone takes him seriously.

2. He scared the hell out of me when he was talking about how

unregulated the bond market was!! When things started going downhill back in 2008, I moved most of money in my 401K into bonds, thinking they were the safer bet. The portfolio value plummeted a good (near) 50%, and now it's back up to where it was at it's highest point, so I'll certainly consider myself fortunate compared to so many others.

He said that the stock market is actually highly regulated when compared with the bond market, so I'm now wondering if I should have even a dollar in bonds! :think:

3. He's also on the Monday edition of the Daily Show. I missed it. DVR is set for the replay.
